Silviaparts.com, selling a Gcoupe grille Feedback??

Hey, I was looking to buy the Gialla/Data systems grill for my coupe, but I really dont feel like waiting 2 or more months for it. I did a search and found some people on the 350forums that purchased their grills from silviaparts.com. The pictures look great IMO, I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has any experiences or feedback regarding this brand. Here is the link for the grill if anyone is interested:

I didn't wait 3 months for my Gialla.....I got mine within a month (no more than 3 weeks) from vivid racing and got it for a great price.

I just got my painted grill from them last month. Great service, fast shipping. Didn't fit perfectly, but it's not comming off anytime soon.

I actually have had the grille installed on my car for about 2 months now. It didn't fit perfectly at first but thats nothing that a drill and drill bit didn't take care over. I had to make the mounting holes on the top bigger so that they lined up with the factory holes. It looks great however I feel that the mesh could be of a better quality. But for $180 shipped it's not a bad deal!

Check my profile for pics.

When your buying them is there an option on what color that you would want or do you have to email them?
